Twenty-one participants listened, breathed, meditated, and chair-danced together at the Take Care Talk this past Thursday at St. Mike’s in N. Andover. They took-away two tools to support ongoing self-care practice at home: “Take Care of Yourself: Seven Sustainable Skills for the Long-Term Care Journey” pocket guide and “Take Care with Twinkle Toes Knows” a dry-erase laminated practice sheet. Together, the these tools offer a basic how-to and a sustainable support to practice being well during and after a long-term-caregiving journey. The 12-step self-help program may be customized as a person feels is “doable” for any day or week and is appropriate for ages 8-88+.
Participants who provided feedback reported that they liked most:
– “meditation”

– “Loved seeing the cartoons come to life with the text!”
– “presentation form: movement, expressive voice & face”
